dreams: November 4, 1998
"Maya" can't remember her lines
A line of young women are auditioning for a movie-performance-group-play-thing.
They're all dancing together and saying their designated lines at
various points. I'm standing, watching from the audience's perspective.
Denise Tenorio steps forward to give her line, but
she can't remember it. She's really struggling, and I can tell she
really wants to be in the group. The main director woman
is on my left; she gives a little hint to Denise (whose name is
now "Maya"), but it doesn't help. If someone doesn't remember a line,
they're immediately rejected.
The woman gives up on "Maya" after another hint or two.
She hands me the script, walking away. I explain to someone next to
me that "Maya" is really Denise. Then I see that she was given the
wrong script in the beginning, so it wasn't her fault that she
couldn't memorize it correctly.
Then the whole audition is over. We're all in a big studio
room. I'm tired. I go over to the director woman to get paid for my
work. She hands me a one dollar bill. I look at it and say "One
dollar?!" She nods. I look at my watch and see that it's about
midnight. Long day, little pay. I accept it.
I look over and see River/Michael in the middle of the room
sitting with some other folks.
John is
there too. They're eating pizza. I go talk to River, happy to
see him. He shows me his Web page. It has advertisements for things
he's selling (something made of wood).
Ginger is pregnant
NEXT, I'm in a kitchen with Mom and Phoebe. We're making
egg omelets.
Then I'm standing at the top landing of the stairs at John's
house.
Mark and Ginger are standing with me. Ginger's belly is big, and
she tells me that she's six months pregnant. They're both excited.
